Oh dear me,

It has come to this. I think I need to get out more.

J had invited me to her birthday dinner party thing and I told her I'd go. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way I wanted. But today, it lead me to do something I've never really done. Ever. There's a first for everything and so I posted an ad for more friends.

Yep.

More friends.

Seeing how my pool of friends was never that large to begin with, I came to the realization that I was lonely. And that I really wasn't good friends with J anymore, which happens. Did I really want to wait for her and her gang of new friends to come or should I just chuck it and head home? The answer was obvious. I left. After changing restaurants for the third time, I only noticed the meeting place and not the new time. I waited for a few minutes, called her, had her call me back, told her I'd wait, rethought that notion, told her so, and headed home. Screw it I say.


I haven't really regretted that decision. The place was a bit loud and the crowd were more posh than what I'm used to. I saved myself a bit of money by not going, and it would have been awkward to meet the new people. I can get along with strangers fine, but it would have been more work for me to be friendly if I was feeling out of place. Anyway, we'll see how my little ad goes. I'm not expecting much but who knows. At least I would have been distracted for a while.
